Now if you’re wondering why I’ve limited the list to just five, the reason is because I only wanted to tell you about the REALLY good chats. Maybe 15 or 20 chats would have made for a better blog post title but I thought it would be disingenuous to send you off to a twitter chat that wasn’t very popular. So here are the five that look really worth joining in with:

The one thing I have realised whilst putting this list together is that the times are not very friendly to us folk here in London. I’m either going to need to go without sleep (something my two two-year-old girls seem hell bent on making happen in any case!) or I’m going to need to start up my own UK versions. Who’s in?
Of course, you can use these hashtags throughout the week to discuss relevant topics, it just doesn’t have quite the impact and immediacy of joining the chat.
Well I hope this is helpful to my friends overseas at least…
Best wishes,

Yes – it’s the times that are the killer here. I’m finding that with Skyping with Australia & NZ! Just as well I’m retired & can nap in the afternoon!
